I found the typing area (the space below the message body) becoming too small after exchanging a few messages. Wonder if there are ways to enlarge the typing space to allow seeing 3-4 lines (now I can only see 2 lines). Thanks.
This seems to be a problem only when using the threaded SMS feature. I you turn that off, you get the full screen. The other problem with the threaded SMS feature is that it take away the character count which also drives me a bit crazy. Anyone know how to fix either of these two issues while retaining the threading feature?

It doesn't take away character count. It's right there on the top bar, next to the start button...
Drop this in /windows and overwrite. Might need total commander. I cant find the post but basically you edit the thread_sms html file in windows, i have this one saved in both my wife and my phones pre-edited.
note: you need to have show hidden filed turned on to see it on your pc.
you can use the freeware "TOTAL COMMANDER" and edit the file thread_sms.html. You can do a search to easily find it...i think it's in the windows directory.
look for this part:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
and play around with the number in height (in this case 35). I think I tried 70 and got 3 lines for my text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you.
*you need to soft reset after editing the file.
Thanks, venelar & koppee1 for your help! It works.

Hey thanks a lot. I had been looking for it at the bottom of the screen where it appears when a new message is created. You have solved a big issue for me! I can kind of live with the small typing area but the word count thing drove me crazy -- I am a wordy guy.
i have installed wisbar advanced with the original theme. After that i havent the character count which has been in top. Is there any way how to get the character count back in threaded sms, or how to get it to the postion where is in the normal SMS sending... anyone hlep?
Hi, I installed the above thread_sms.html file from venelar (copied using resco explorer and soft reset) but now my threaded sms is broken, if I select a thread and click reply then nothing happens other than a slight screen 'flash'! Have disabled threaded sms in advance config and ordinary messaging is fine. Would like to get threaded back but like an idiot did not make a copy of the original file. Don't really want to hard reset and start all my settings again. Can anybody upload an original touch pro thread_sms.html file to help me out or suggest what I have done wrong?

it worked 4 me without the soft reset!
THNX much better now! now I can actually see what I typed...
After some experimentation:
Height of 35 = One-line SMS typing area
Height of 45 = Two-line SMS typing area
Height of 70 = Three-line SMS typing area
P.S. As per Pensador, a soft-reset was not required.
Doesn't work in Landscape SMS Mode

Changing this seems to only increase the SMS text area for the screen in Portrait. When I use the keyboard (i.e. screen in Landscape). Anyone know how to increase the SMS texting area for both orientations?

This is an awesome fix. This should be placed in the wiki.
Also, you don't need a soft reset and it works for both portrait and landscape.
Is there a "long press" style option, using an app perhaps that replicates the Win7 accelerator right click option? A way to EASILY highlight a word(s) (besides menu + e etc) while browsing internet, and then search for the highlighted items?
I love the ability to highlight and then search, or map etc.
Haven't seen a solution for android phone or tabs.
Thanks so much

I'm sure there must be an app for that but for now for copy/paste I do it (while in the browser) by hitting Settings, More, Select Text and then drag my finger across the text I want to copy and then long press in textbox and select Paste. For searching I hit Settings, then Find on Page.
I thought I had read on the VEGAn thread that they got an external mouse to work (before they fixed the accelerometer which made it so you couldn't use the mouse). I wonder if the right mouse click did anything while it was working.
On my Droid 1 I can just long press to copy items in a text box but it apparently doesn't work on the viewsonic. Is there a way to copy on the stock browser or do I need to download Dolphin?
Can someone tell me how to select text while browsing for copy/paste. Thanks for helping with my newb question.
from my ruded g2x
Froyo: open browser and go to Menu>More>Select Text
Gingerbread: tap and hold on page until text selection brackets appear.

It depends on what ROM your using but long pressing at the beginning of the text you want will bring up an arrow you can then drag to select what you need to copy/paste. This feature is similar but has much improved functionality in Cyanogenmod or other 2.3.4 based ROM's.
Sorry for the non-descriptive title, there are many actions I want to do which can't be written in a title.
I want to do following things, but can't work them out. Please help:
1. Clear new message notification (tasker says that it can only clear its own notifications, and not of other apps)
2. Or set message as "read". (so the notification will clear itself ? )
3. I have made a scene which opens when I click a tasker's notification. There is a TextEdit box in it, I want it to be on focus automatically and hence want the soft keyboard to be opened. (I can open the keyboard by making a task but the box is not on focus, so I have to touch the box again anyways.)
4. The text I write in TextEdit box is not wrapped. It just goes on horizontally in one line, I want to wrap it as the text box is three rows in height.
ignore these, I worked them out now.
5. Use volume button to move cursor left and right while typing something.
6. Send email to a predefined contact when we touch a notification, or anything that I define (e.g a floating scene).
I want to fill up the TO box with a contact and press send when I am composing email.
This is done, too.
And, how do I share a single profile here? Because I would like to share some in upcoming days. now.
This is done, too.
EDIT: I have not only made these profiles and tasks but also have shared them on xda here:

Currently, I use PDF MAX ANDROID for its one tap highlight(meaning you don't have to long press the word to highlight it.) You just simply choose highlight mode and tap any number of words to highlight them individually, which is much faster than tap and hold and highlight. But this app is really unstable and can easily crash. I just want to know if anyone knows any pdf software where you can easily highlight texts.
Thank You.

I use Moon+ Reader. You can reduce the long press time down to 50ms in the control options, the highlight menu pops up quickly and you tap the color you want. Very fast.
